So last time you organized were you SOOOO tired afterwards?  

And now you have another once coming up, but you don't have time to be that tired?  Here's what I do, hopefully these ideas will support you!

I get so often: "I don't know how you do it! I was so tired last time!"

So I want to share with you what I do that supports me to bounce back/keep going.  Because shhh, I also get tired! Even though I love it.

I want to acknowledge that I literally am receiving energy when I organize with you.  I love it.  I do get tired, but there is such profound fulfilment that I am fueled.  That being said, yes I do also get tired.  But I know that I do several things that most other people don't know.  See what you might be able to incorporate

1. Drinking water

I drink more water during the session than all my clients.  So drink more water.  My personal goal is to finish a 33 oz bottle. I rarely succeed because I get distracted.  And I'm still drinking more water than all my clients!  So here are some ideas to help you drink more water:

Do your best to be FULLY hydrated before our session.

Set a timer for 5 minutes and only focus on drinking water until the timer ends.  Do this before our session and after our session.

Drink a sip of water every time you see someone else drinking a sip of water.

Drink water every time you pee.  Lol, funny to talk about publicly.  But I made up this rule during my drinking days.  Every time I passes a water fountain or went to the bathroom I had to drink water.  It has worked and is still a rule I maintain.  Now its just natural.  I actually count 5 sips every time I go to the bathroom.  

Add something to your water, often having a different flavor makes it more enjoyable to drink

Eat a crystal of salt twice a day.  Salt will make you thirsty!

2. Eat a very hearty breakfast

I've had a few clients that have told me they didn't eat yet, when I arrive...

I strongly recommend eating a very hearty breakfast.  

I eat keto now (its been about 5 years).  So my breakfast includes meat.  I usually eat a egg and ham sandwich (with GF bread) or meatballs with some kind of vegetable.  Then I will often make a smoothie for the drive.  I do my best to show up full.  Also I'm working, and I do my best to focus on you.

Although usually around 1 pm I do need a snack.  So I also recommend having some snacks already prepped.

For me, I bring my fortified cold brew coffee.  Its cold brew, creamer, chia seeds, vanilla, creatin powder and iodine (the iodine simply because it has no taste, and I very often forget to take it.  I love this so much. Maybe more than coffee shop fresh coffee!

3. Plan something restorative afterwards

To each one of us this will look different.  Maybe its getting a massage, or getting nails done, maybe its going out to eat and not cooking, maybe you just plant to lay down and read a goods book!

Or.... maybe you are like me and really don't have time.  I take 5 minutes before going in to see my precious toddler and journal in my car.  For now, often she is still asleep when I get home.  So I make sure to resitate with legs up the wall.  lol.  Resitating is resting and meditating.  I Lay down with my eyes closed, meditate and its ok if I fall asleep!  With the legs up the wall pose... Except I often just do legs up the couch, lol, its an inversion.  A restorative pose allowing the blood to circulate the opposite direction.  Its so restorative.  I actually make sure to do this everyday for 10 minutes during her nap.

IF she is awake, I read a book with her, with legs up the wall.  She enjoys laying down with me <3  And then we go for a walk! (walking is very restorative to me).

4. Epsom salt bath 

I take a bath instead of a shower, and I add Epsom salt every day.  This makes such a big difference in my energy, and I sleep  better.  This is so restorative.

5. Vitamins

I have noticed for myself that vitamins make a big difference.  Specifically vitamin B.  On days that I know I want good energy, I will take a lot of vitamin B, well exceeding the daily recommended amount.  Test it out on for yourself, if this speaks to you.  It may or may not be right for you.  I can say, this really works for me.

6. Easy Dinner

Lastly on days that I work, I decide on dinner before I leave and make sure its easy.  Which is often something I have already prepped and have in my freezer.  A favorite is my meat sauce pasta.  Because its delicious, filling, and my daughter likes it.  I've done a past blog post with recipes.

Final comments, nursing my energy is a big priority.  Ever since I had fatigue, I am on the look out, and do not ever want to feel that awful again.  I do still have dips, which I strongly dislike.  I organize my week to take care of my energy, I track it, and make adjustments.  Its something I account for.  

So before your organizing session, or just to boost your overall energy try incorporating as much as you are able to, tell me what worked for you!  Or what other things do you do that I did not mention?

And you have two more weeks to capitalize on the BACKTOSCHOOL2025 discount! (ends in September).  So if organizing is something you are interested in, lets chat!

Sending Love,
